I am a curator and cultural intermediary working at the intersections of contemporary Asian art and design. My practice seeks to expand representations of Asia and foster cultural dialogues across East and Southeast Asia through exhibitions, transdisciplinary collaborations and community-driven initiatives that bridge disciplines and geographies.

At the Asian Civilisations Museum (2018 - 2024), I managed international exhibitions and contributed to the acquisition of works for the National Design Collection. My research focused on 20th-  and 21st- century material culture and spatial narratives, examining the cultural and social agency of furniture typologies in Southeast Asia in dialogue with dominant narratives in global design history. I hold an MA in Museum Studies and Curatorial Practices from NTU ADM, supported by the National Heritage Board (Singapore).

Currently based in Seoul, I chart everyday observations through a design ethnographic lens.
